Mine drove me from my driveway, through my neighborhood, through stop signs, railroad crossings, stop lights, interchanges, highways, on and off ramps, 85 miles an hour and down to a crawl in heavy and light traffic, in rain and on clear days, almost 200 miles round trip once a week for a year. But I'm in the U.S. with access to the FSD stack. I've driven rentals with advanced TACC tech, and they have failed to impress ( with the exception of Blue Cruise, I haven't had a chance to try that yet). If you get a chance to drive a Tesla enrolled in "FSD (Supervised)" as they call it now, I highly recommend it. It will get mad at you if you aren't looking straight ahead though, and the "keep your hands on the wheel" nags generally only happen if conditions get shitty or you play with the screen/stop paying attention to the road.

Maybe you need more Vitamin M

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought FSD wasn't available in Europe until basically last month, and even then it's still pending some regulatory hurdles. So you're comparing VW's lane keeping tech to Tesla's most basic TACC (autopilot) right?

Half Life: Blue Shift was, IIMHO, the first Second Person game. You play as Barney and in several places get to see Gordon Freeman doing Half Life 1 things.

The "Brick through a widow" bug has been an active exploit since the Model T.

That is probably true.

  1. Planting trees has far greater benefits than just carbon capture.

  2. At best they're deluded, at worst its green washing with a side effect of free trees.

My money is on non-existent. I bet one of those dudes is real, at best.

Even better, every car is vulnerable to the "brick through the window" attack, but at least PIN to drive means the car will still be there.

Enabling the PIN mitigates this issue entirely. Can't drive it away if you don't know the PIN, even if you have the physical key, fob, or phone.
